International Commission on Occupational Health, 1992

Occupational health professionals must service the health and social well-being of the workers, individually and collectively. They also contribute to environmental and community health.

The obligations of occupational health professionals include protecting the life and the health of the worker, respecting human dignity and promoting the highest ethical principles in occupational health policies and programs. Integrity in professional conduct, impartiality, and the protection of the confidentiality of health data and of the privacy of workers are part of these obligations.

"Many workers are intelligent, cooperative and good witnesses. Although some may be deaf,

 disconsolate, forgetful, obtuse, garrulous, or monosyllabic, the worker is still the best witness

of what happened."

Donald Hunter (1898 - 1978).

“True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting

information.”

(Winston Churchill, 1874 - 1965)

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

(Wernher Von Braun, 1912 – 1977)
